External Interfaces

• This ST unit’s serial interface is not isolated.When the host (PLC) unit is also not iso-

lated, and to reduce the risk of damaging the RS232C/RS422/RS485 circuit, be sure

to connect pin #5 SG (Signal Ground) terminal.

• Similarly shaped connectors are used for COM1 and COM2 of the ST. Therefore, be

sure to connect the correct connectors. Communication is not available unless the

connectors are connected correctly.

• When isolation is necessary, you can use the RS232C isolation unit (CA3-ISO232-01) on

COM1.

Installations

1. Installation Requirements

• For easier maintenance, operation, and

improved ventilation, be sure to install the

ST at least 100 mm [3.94 in.] away from

adjacent structures and other equipment.

• Be sure that the ambient operation temper-

ature and the ambient humidity are within

their designated ranges. (Ambient opera-

tion temperature: 0 to 50°C, Ambient

humidity: 10 to 90%RH, Wet bulb temper-

ature: 39°C max.)

When installing the ST on the panel of a cab-

inet or enclosure, “Ambient operation tem-

perature” indicates both the panel face and

cabinet or enclosure’s internal temperature.

• Be sure that heat from surrounding equip-

ment does not cause the ST to exceed its

standard operating temperature.

2. ST Installation

(1) Create a Panel Cut following the dimen-

sions in the table below.

(2) Confirm that the installation gasket is

attached to the ST unit and then place the

ST unit into the Panel from the front.

• It is strongly recommended that you

use the installation gasket, since it

absorbs vibration in addition to repel-

ling water.

For the procedure for replacing the

installation gasket, refer to “ST3000

Series Hardware Manual”.

(3) The following figures show the four (4)

fastener insertion slot locations. Insert

each fastener’s hook into the slot and

tighten it with a screwdriver. Insert the

installation fasteners securely into the

insertion slot recess.

• Tightening the screws with too much

force can damage the ST unit’s plastic

case.

• The necessary torque is 0.5N•m.

Wiring

yTo avoid an electric shock, prior to

connecting the ST unit’s power cord

terminals to the power terminal block,

confirm that the ST unit’s power supply is

completely turned OFF, via a breaker, or

similar unit.

yAny other power level can damage both

the ST and the power supply.

yWhen the FG terminal is connected, be

sure the wire is grounded.

1. Wiring the AC type power supply

cable

• When the FG terminal is connected, be

sure the wire is grounded. Not ground-

ing the ST unit will result in excessive

noise. Use your country's applicable

standard for grounding.

Connecting the ST Power Cord

(1) Be sure that the ST's power cord is not

plugged in to the power supply.

(2) Remove the Terminal Strip's clear plastic

cover.

(3) Remove the screws from the two (2)

terminals (L,N) and FG (Frame Ground)

Terminal, position the Ring Terminals and

reattach the screws. (Check each wire to

make sure the connections are correct)

• The torque required to tighten these

screws are as follows:

Terminal Block: 0.5 to 0.6 N•m.

FG (Frame Ground) Terminal: 0.6 to

0.7 N•m.

(4) Reattach the Terminal Strip's clear

plastic cover.

Connecting the ST Power Cord

(1) Confirm that the ST unit’s Power Cord is

unplugged from the power supply.

(2) Remove the power connector (plug)

from the main unit.

(3) Loosen the three screws in the center of

the Power Connector.

(4) Strip the power cord, twist the

conductor’s wire ends, insert them into

the pin terminal and crimp the terminal.

Attach the terminal to the power

connector.

(5) Fix it with screws.

• Use a flat-blade screwdriver (Size 0.6

X 3.5) to tighten the terminal screws.

The torque required to tighten these

screws is 0.5 to 0.6 N•m [5-7Lb•In.].

• Do not solder the cable connection.

(6) Attach the Power Connector to the ST

and fix it to the ST main unit with right/

left tightening screws.

3. Power Supply Cautions

• Input and Output signal lines must be sepa-

rated from the power control cables for

operational circuits.

• To improve the noise resistance, be sure to

twist the ends of the power cord wires

before connecting them to the Power con-

nector (Plug).

• The ST unit’s power supply cord should

not be bundled with or kept close to main

circuit lines (high voltage, high current), or

input/output signal lines.

• To reduce noise, make the power cord as

short as possible.

• If the supplied voltage exceeds the ST

unit’s range, connect a voltage trans-

former.

• Between the line and the ground, be sure to

use a low noise power supply. If there is an

excess amount of noise, connect a noise

reducing transformer.

• The temperature rating of field installed

conductors: 75°C only.

• Use voltage and noise reducing trans-

formers with capacities exceeding

Power Consumption value.

• Must be used with a Class 2 Power Supply.

(24VDC)

• Connect a surge absorber to handle power

surges.

• Be sure to ground the surge absorber

(E1) separately from the ST unit (E2).

Select a surge absorber that has a

maximum circuit voltage greater then

that of the peak voltage of the power

supply.

Lightening Surge Absorber

4. Grounding Cautions

• Be sure to create an exclusive ground for

the Power Cord’s FG terminal. Use a

grounding resistance of 100Ω , a wire of

2mm2 or thicker, or your country’s appli-

cable standard.

• The SG (signal ground) and FG (frame

ground) terminals are connected internally

in the ST unit.

When connecting the SG line to another

device, be sure that the design of the sys-

tem/connection does not produce a short-

ing loop.

• The grounding wire should have a cross

sectional area greater then 2mm2. Create

the connection point as close to the ST unit

as possible, and make the wire as short, as

possible. When using a long grounding

wire, replace the thin wire with a thicker

wire, and place it in a duct.

5. Input/Output Signal Line Cautions

• All ST Input and Output signal lines must

be separated from all operating circuit

(power) cables.

• If this is not possible, use a shielded cable

and ground the shield.

To prevent the USB cable

from coming off

Attaching the USB Cable Clamp

(1) Insert the USB holder into the slot in

front of the ST unit's USB port and pull it

down and forward.

(2) Pass the band of the USB cable clamp

through the bridge of the USB holder.

(3) Insert the USB cable into the port. Fasten

the band around the plug and secure it

with the clamp.

Removing the USB Cable Clamp

(1) Lower the clip and lift the clamp to

release the plug.
